pecia y designed for use in exterminating and driving out flies, mosquitos, and other insects from a room or. other chamber.

The object of the inventionis to provide a simple and practical device of this character which will be useful in stores, markets, hositals and other dwelhr s and buildings for umigating the same and also for supplying fresh air to thesame after the fumigation has been effected and thereby ridding the room or rooms of the fumi ating gases.

With the above an other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel features of construction and the combination and arran ement of parts hereinafter fully descri ed and claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure '1 is a diagrammatic view in side elevation of my improved fumi ating device; and Fig. 2 is a detail vertica longitudinal section through portions of the li uid reservoir, its discharge pipe and the air l)last pipe.

In the practice of my invention I provide at suitable points in the room or chamber to be fumigated one'or more perforated distribution pipes 1 and suitably connect the same to one end of an air blast pipe 2, the other end of which is in communication with the casing 3 of a rotary fan or blower4; The latter may be located at any suitable point in the house or building and its shaft 5 may be drivenin any suitable-manner. I prefer ably, however, employ an electric motor 6 the shaft of which is coupled to or integral with the shaft 5. Said motor 6, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, is supported upon and bolted to 1 a bracket 7 7 formed integral with one of the half-sections off the casing 3, and the latter is rovidedupon its bottom with su orting P gP andattaching feet}; which may be olted to the floor or any suitable support.

The air blast pipe 2 has 1ts portion adjacent to the fan or blower disposed horizontall and arranged above this portion is a tan or reservolr ada ted t'ocontain kerosene or any other suita. le volatile liquid that away flies, mosquitos, and other insects. Said tank 9 has an open top closed b a removable cover 10 and a tapered or unnelshaped bottom 11 terminating ina nip le or pipe 12 the-lower end of which is three. ed to receive a controlling valve 13, referably in the form of a needle valve. The other end of the casin of the valve 13 has screwed into it 'a liquid ischarge or outlet pipe 14 which projects through and is suitab y secured, as shown at 15, in the top of the horizontal portion of the air ipe 2. The lower end, or that portion of t e pi e 14 which is dis osed within the pipe 2, is bent at right angles in the direction of the blast through said air pipe to (provide a horizontally and centrally dispose nozzle 16 from which the liquid drips and is volatilized or evaporated by the air blast.

I preferably attach to the nozzle 6 a wick 17 of cottonv or the like. This wick hangs from the nozzle 16 and is preferably attached thereto by passing it through an opening 18 formed in said nozzle, as clearly shown in liquid toprovide the fumigating gases which find their outlet in the room or chamber through the perforations in the pipe or pipes 1.

It will-be understood that any number of the pipes 1 may be provided and that they may be arranged at those points in the room or chamber which will render the device most effective for the purpose intended. It will also be understood that while the device is especially well adapted for use in exterminating and driving out flies, mosquitos and similar insects from a house or building, it may be used for disinfecting'pur oses and for other purposes by using suita le volatile liquids in the tank or reservoir 9. By means of the needle valve 13 the flow'of the liquid may be eifectively regulated so that the fumigating gases may be made as strong or as weak as necessary or desirable. This valve also permits the flow of the liquid to be cut off entirely so that after has a pungent odor which will kill or drive the fumigation of the room or chamber has been effected fresh air may be discharged into the same by means of the device for the purpose of quickly driving out the fumigatmg gases.

Having thus described my invention What I claim is:

1. In a fumigating device, the combination of an air blast pipe, a perforated distributing pipe in communication therewith, means for creating a blast of air through said air blast pi e, a liquid supplying pipe extending into t e air blast pipe and a wick connected to said liquid supply pipe and arran ed within the air blast pipe.

2. n a fumi ating device, the combination of an air blast pipe, a perforated distributingl pipe in communication with one end of t e air blast pi e, .a fancasing coni nected to theother on of the air blast pipe,

a rotary fan in said casing, a shaft for said fan, a motor directl connected to said shaft,

a reservoir for a v0 atile liquid, a liquid'discharge pipe extending int o the air blast pipe,

and turned in the direction toward which the blast moves to provide a nozzle, a wick han ing from said nozzle and a cut off and regu atmg valve for controlling the discharge of the liquid from the reservoir. 1 3. In a fumigating device, the combination of an air blast pipe, a perforated 'dist'ributing pipe in communication therewith, means for creatinga blast of air through said air blast pipe, a liquid supplying pipe extendin into the air blast pipe and turned in the irection toward WhlGll the blast moves to provide a nozzle, the latter having an opening adjacent to its outer end and a Wick' passed throu h and secured in the 0 ening in the no z e and adapted to hang t erefrom.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
